How To Make It

 

Roast 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds on fry pan for roughly 30 seconds

Add 2 tablespoons of combined butter and olive oil (rapeseed for vegans)

Slice the onions (long ways)

Add the onions in the fry pan Sautee them for 15 minutes on medium heat

As they’re turning brown, add in the 1 tablespoon crushed garlic and 1 tablespoon ginger

After a minute, add in minced meat

Shallow-fry the meat and onions until meat is visibly ready/done

Add in the finely chopped Roma tomatoes and your veggies (peas/carrots) and green chili

Keep mixing for 20 minutes on the medium heat

Turn the heat down to low

Let that simmer for 5 minutes

Turn the plate off, and leave that to the side, as we will start preparing the mashed potatoes Boil your 6 large potatoes

Mash the 5/6 potatoes

Add in single cream or milk and 1 teaspoon of butter (if vegan friendly, don’t add these in – or use canned coconut milk)

Add in black paper to the mash
